Day 6
Day six was a beautiful rest day and it was all thanks to Mr and Ms Simpson. They gave us a hot shower and a warm bed to sleep in and made sure we were well taken care of. In the morning Ms Simpson packed us a lunch and sent us tubing on the Ichetucknee River. The Ichetucknee River is a crystal clear river that runs through a state park. We tubed for about two hours and it felt great just to float and be off the bike. The rest of the day was spent working on the bikes and hanging out by the pool. We just finished the most glorious dinner and I fell like riding a hundred miles. Mr. Mike Simpson is an amateur astronomer and promised to let us take a look at the stars tonight. We can't thank the Simpson's enough for their hospitality towards us during our stay. We plan to get back on the bikes tomorrow and start heading towards Orlando.

Joey! I enjoyed reading all about your guys great first week.
ReplyDeleteI just started the new job in MN and wish I had a week earlier as I could have sent you guys some free Ironman gloves! Oh well I guess they'll have to be a reward for biking the whole state!
Looking forward to reading about the rest of the trip.
